They mean more screws in tuna cans.

I’ve had both Seagate and WD drives fail. I just think drives fail rather commonly.
That’s just because of all its spaghetti code.
I, too, love when I get to prevent an entire country from invasion by an evil force, but only when I get to take credit for it. Someone else stealing my idea for peace is just as bad as someone else stealing a joke I said first, if not worse.
I know many people loved Casino Royale, but from that movie onward they shifted to be too serious and no longer fun, action movies. The set pieces are great, but I stopped enjoying myself watching Bond movies because from the Craig era they all took themselves way too seriously. I think they just saw how well the Bourne series was performing, and like they’ve always done, switched gears to copy whatever’s popular. But by doing so got rid of the main reason why I enjoyed the series in the first place.
It’s because she’s a woman. They’re scared.
Now imagine working for two hours and then having to eat a Big Mac.
They may have made the page purely for SEO to grab a few people considering downloading GIMP.
Receipts have a time stamp, so they’d have a record of the actual price you paid. If you paid in cash and didn’t get a receipt, and if they make an exception for your return, they’d base it on when you said you bought it. You might be able to get one or two exceptions depending on who’s working. With that said you’d better make a purchase of thousands of dollars and pay in cash to make sure to get at least a few dollars back for your efforts.
I’ve used one of those before at an airport and it worked exactly as you say. I think it was just for boarding though. I just walked forward and when I got to the front, they greeted me by name and I got on the plane. I don’t remember having to show my passport or boarding pass that time either (but it was last year so I may have forgotten).
I’ve done my best to summarize them here with my opinions, but the article is also a quick read.
AB 1013 - bars and clubs must offer reasonably-priced or free drug testing kits.
Excellent to deter people trying to spike someone’s drink. If you’re worried, just get a quick test without having to even leave the bar.
AB 12 - caps residential security deposit at 1 month’s rent, or 2 month’s rent if the landlord owns no more than 2 residential rentals with no more than 4 units.
A+
SB 244 - requires manufacturers of electronics/appliances over $50 to provide product parts/tools/instructions to repair devices.
A+ Louis Rossmann’s dream?
SB 478 - requires all mandatory fees/charges to be stated up front (no undisclosed fees such as in concert/sports tickets or lodging).
Curious what the companies will do to get around this, but it’s a good start and I think should lead to a decrease in prices overall as companies have to compete through advertising.
SB 553 - employers must record violent incidents and have training on violence prevention.
They didn’t have to before?
AB 28 - 11% tax on firearms/ammo.
This goes toward the “Gun Violence Prevention and School Safety Fund” which I googled and found out it goes to programs to help prevent gun violence and enhance safety at school, as well as mental health services. Overall this seems like a good thing if it works.
SB 274 - public schools with a student in “willful defiance” can’t suspend/expel them, but must implement intervention programs and support for those students.
I guess this is good too?
AB 230 - public schools must provide free menstrual products in school bathrooms + more instruction from grade 3+.
Makes sense, because kids can start their periods from 10~ but some earlier.
Major League Eating said that it had gone “to great lengths in recent months to accommodate Joey and his management team, agreeing to the appearance fee and allowing Joey to compete in a rival unbranded hot dog eating contest on Labor Day,” but that they’d been unable to come to an agreement.
Lol this is hilarious because I still remember what Major League Eating did to Kobayashi in 2010, but with Joey they’re bending over backwards to accommodate him and still lose. Serves them right and hopefully they’ll lose a lot of money over their poor treatment of their talent.
Really interesting read. I hope there can be more of this.
No pistachios were harmed in the making of this ice cream.
While I get what you’re saying, the best type of outcome for something like this will be a policy change to avoid similar incidents. However if you were to force policy changes through these sort of lawsuits, you would have the defense fighting for the smallest policy changes and even arguing that these small changes infringe their rights or are cruel and unusual - this would be even more complex to solve, and ineffective. The better way is to make penalties high enough that those penalties themselves motivate policy changes that will actually be effective. It puts the people being punished in charge of their next possible punishment, and this can lead to even better policy changes than simply doing it directly.
For an example, if you sued a company because you stepped on a nail left by their construction crew (which was proven to be willful negligence), they might argue that they can simply sweep up any remaining nails. By changing that to a $1 million fine, they’re going to not only remove all of the nails, but make sure they never get left on the floor ever again. You can’t get this effect by simply ruling “no more nails on the floor.”

It’s like trying to end an ant infestation by just spraying your kitchen table.
Justice WINS. Guiltality.
Dude that’s totally a scam. I’ll do it for only $399.99 but I also need your mother’s maiden name and your favorite book for some reason.
Yes. But as soon as you realize you’ve left out important information or someone else adds important information, it’s important to accept that into your reasoning. It seemed like you were fighting back at them in your replies, and doubling down on your initial claims which you now know weren’t complete. You weren’t wrong with the information you had at the time when you commented, but it made you look stubborn by not being willing to accept new information or learn. Just my two cents as an outsider.
